A Quantitative Multi-layer Recording Model for Media with Arbitrary Easy Axis Orientation

Abstract

A simplified quantitative recording model, for thick media, and for media with arbitrary easy axis orientation is reported. The model is based on an extended version of the Williams and Comstock model. Solutions of the model are determined through an iterative procedure. The model employs a minimum number of adjustable parameters. Comparisons between calculations made with the model and experimental data in the time and frequency domain indicate the model has quantitative accuracy for ME tapes.
